The DotCom Crash left Darleen unemployed and very uncertain of finding secure work. She took her savings and passion for excellent, transparent and sustainable coffee to Park Slope, Brooklyn to create Gorilla Coffee which became one of the most successful micro-roasteries on the east coast and laid the foundation independent coffee shops in Brooklyn. Two years ago Darleen took those same values and started from scratch once again to open Supercrown Coffee Roasters in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

Episode 26: Supercrown Coffee Roasters: Darleen Scherer

Philip Hoffman

On today's episode of THE FOOD SEEN, we step on the gas of a 1952 Probat. This German cast iron machine can fire through 22 kilos in a day, but when did how we take our coffee become the Third Wave of caffeinated culture as we know it? Darleen Scherer started roasting beans in-house at Gorilla Coffee (Park Slope, Brooklyn) in 2002. Over a decade later, she brings us Supercrown Coffee Roasters, which doubles as a café where you can get your pour over, and a weekly subscription service which sends out boxes of peak harvest picked, roasted in season coffee beans from Huila (Colombia), Cajamarca (Peru), and the Korngi District of Rwanda. We'll talk aroma, taste, mouthfeel, and sit through a cupping with Darleen who happens to be a Sensory Judge for the US Barista Championship. And don't ask for milk, no, "well roasted coffee doesn't need milk", but there's that Coffee Milkshake (sweet cream, espresso, grinds) just in case you don't take it black.
